I Died So My Brother Can Have JusticeChapter 1

Every time my wife brought her assistant into the bedroom, she made me kneel by the bed and wait.

If the assistant didn’t know how to do it, she’d have me demonstrate—step by humiliating step.

I always waited patiently for them to finish, then went over to serve them tea and water.

Celeste would pinch the back of my neck and ask:

“Aren’t you jealous?”

I shook my head, even helping them prepare contraceptives when needed.

That only infuriated her more. She’d throw me onto the bed again and again out of spite.

But the next day, I’d still kneel obediently beside the bed, waiting like always.

She’d grit her teeth and say:

“A grown man acting like this... You’re pathetic!”

I only smiled at her.

She didn’t know—

That would be the last time I’d ever be with her.

——

When I got home that evening, the scene on the sofa was all too familiar.

Damien had his back to me but turned at the sound of the door, a mocking smile curling on his lips.

Celeste raised her voice deliberately, just loud enough for me to hear.
